You Need Automated Shades, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation near Campbell, California (CA)

Weighing the pros and cons of buying something, determining whether you not you genuinely need it, can prove to be rather difficult. But at the same time, when things have many more pros than cons, the decision seems quite easy.

If you are tired of manually operating your window treatments or want a child-friendly or arthritic-friendly alternative, then the choice of adding automated shades to your home is an easy one. At this point, you have probably seen how these window treatments work and know that they are an excellent addition to your home. However, this still doesn’t answer the question of whether or not you truly need them. That is where we come into play. We are here to discuss all of the benefits of Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation.

Secure Your Home

Our homes are our safe spaces. That is why we go to great lengths to protect it with alarm systems, securing locks on our doors, and even leaving a lamp on if we are gone for an extended period of time to make it appear as if we are home to the outside world. One of the reasons your home can benefit from automated shades is the enhanced security they offer. For example, if you leave for work or vacation and forget to shut your shades, you don’t have to worry! With PowerView® Automation, you can operate your window treatments from anywhere in the world with the PowerView® App. Additionally, you can schedule your shades to open, close, or adjust throughout the day to make it appear as if someone is home. This can help deter possible thieves who are looking for empty homes.

Reduce Your Energy Consumption

Nowadays, everyone tries to do their part to ensure we have a greener planet. However, did you know that poorly insulated windows can make this a challenge? If your windows are poorly insulated, your home’s air can seep out, and the outside air can creep in. As a result, your home will remain uncomfortable no matter how high you crank up the heat or AC. Hunter Douglas automated shades can solve this problem! PowerView® Automation can open your shades when the sun is at its brightest in the winter to warm up your home and close your shades during peak sunlight hours in the summer to keep your home cool throughout the day. Over time, this will help reduce your energy intake and even your energy bills.

Save Time

We all know how precious time is. So why waste that time adjusting your window treatments all day? Instead of throwing open your blinds and shutting them before you leave for work, you can spend that extra time enjoying breakfast with your family in the mornings. Or, instead of getting up out of your comfy bed to shut your bedroom window treatments at night, you can use the PowerView® App, Pebble® Control, or even your voice when synced up to compatible smart-home systems to shut the shades for you. No matter what you love doing, you can do more of what you love instead of worrying about your window treatments.
